PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE

The primary source for information on the work of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Massachusetts is the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge. A volume has been issued annually since 1870; the impetus for the availability of these records originally came from Grand Master Gardner, under whose administration the seven original volumes (covering a period between 1733 and 1869) were compiled and produced.

When a page reference to the Proceedings is presented, it is given in the form Year:Page for years from 1870 forward. For references in the first seven volumes, a Roman numeral (I-VII) appears in place of the Year field. The following table lists the years covered by each volume.

The following pages provide a summary of the work of the Grand Lodge for each year.
